RUST [RUST]-810

Another tingling sound – the clip popping sound.

Flash-

The first flash grenade dropped exploded, emitting a powerful beam of light.

While a normal flash grenade would burst out in 0.1 second bursts of light and be the end of it, the flash grenade from the Holy Kingdom that broke through the technological singularity continued to flash for 0.1 seconds for over 30 times.

For over three full seconds, a powerful light hundreds of times stronger than psychic lighting dissolved the darkness of the audience room.

■■■■ ■■■■ !!!!

The monster’s remains, who had never seen light before, cried out in pain. The mental waves filled with pain surged around, but they could not stop Maru.

If the first one was a flash grenade, the second one was a tear gas grenade. The tear gas grenade, made with technology that had reached a singular point, was a vicious substance that could be absorbed not only into the respiratory tract and mucous membranes, but also into the skin.

If it had been poison gas, cells would have died, allowing for a quick response and evolution, but tear gas doesn’t kill cells. There’s just terrible pain.

Even in the terrible pain, the black mucus could not throw away the fragments, because this was the source of its strength.

But unfortunately, it was a place where death would come to an end. The spear that Maru had thrust through pierced through the black mucus and debris at the same time.

The eclipsed blade cut through the black slime like pudding, and dug into the debris that emitted strong repulsive force.

Doooooooooooooo—–

I stabbed it with an eclipse and a resonating sound, as if I had struck a bell, echoed throughout the space.

Woooooooooooooooo——

A scream mixed with the sound of a bell. Maru twisted the window sill and tore it open. The black mucus crumbled and fell away weakly like a spoon had been stirring pudding, exposing the flesh inside.

A shard of the altar. The largest piece of debris I’ve ever seen, it was falling apart as Eclipse tore through it.

The vibrations of the eclipse.

The vibrations of the altar fragments.

As the mucus died, the vibrations of the brain waves it emitted overlapped, mixed, and tangled, creating a dark space.

A sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

Far away, deep down, the sound of a cat crying like a newborn baby.

and···

Thump thump thump

My heart began to pound in alarm.

Maru laid the twisted blade flat and cut it horizontally.

Pa-ga-ga-ga-gak-

Bullfighting-

As the fragments were cut, the black mucus seemed to be sliced ​​up and down, but then the fragments and mucus began to stick together again with an unknown force.

What the fuck.

The eclipse, which had been drawn horizontally, had its centrifugal force added to it, cutting the debris and black mucus diagonally.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The force that had been used to reattach the vertically cut fragments and the slime that had been separated diagonally tried to reattach them. Maru wouldn’t leave it alone.

Euaaaah!

The diagonal cut was then cut vertically.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The place where the upper and lower parts were attached. The floor is cut in the same way at that place, then cut up and down again, and then fed an Eclipse diagonally on the opposite side to dismantle it into 8 pieces in the shape of a cross and an X.

Thump thump thump-thump

Not yet.

Not yet.

Even though it was divided into 8 pieces, it is being restored again.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Maru instinctively put his hand on his waist.

A small nuclear grenade was caught in his hand.

What if we put a nuclear grenade right in the middle of all that power going on there?

My fingers naturally moved towards the safety pin.

At that moment, my heart started beating again as if in a seizure.

My heart is pounding, my …-

The thought of putting a nuclear grenade in and the pain in my heart that squeezed my heart at the same time. And then, at the end of that sharp pain, a thought flashed through my mind.

‘After dropping a hydrogen bomb on Tokyo…’

It occurred to me that a sinkhole had opened up.

No matter how small, a nucleus is a nucleus.

It won’t be as big as the sinkhole that opened in Tokyo, but it will definitely be a small hole.

Maru pulled out a napalm grenade right next to him.

He pulled out the safety pin of the napalm grenade after confirming that his pounding heart had calmed down as if nothing had happened.

Ting-

The distinctive footsteps began with a popping clip sound.

A distance of movement of 12 to 15 meters at a time. The joints of the core armor were pushed to their limits by the overwhelming acceleration that started with just a step without any acceleration.

Kkieeee- Kkigik-

The sticky black organism desperately tried to reattach the eight pieces that had been split apart. An ominous power began to seep out from the central rip, regenerating the pieces and the black organism.

!!!

‘Oh. Don’t come!’

‘no!’

‘Stop!’

‘for a moment.’

‘wait for a sec.’

By the time the black organism, which had lost its senses due to the flashbangs and tear gas, detected Maru’s charge, the napalm grenade in Maru’s hand had already been lodged in the torn gap.

puck-

A napalm grenade was shoved into Maru’s gaping mouth like a whole, thick sausage. Thud- Maru hit it with his hand and kicked it again with his foot, creating distance.

Phew-

Whoosh whoosh-

In an instant, the super high temperature of over 3,000 degrees burned the black organism. The black organism, which had been using the prisoners and ants as a shield to endure, could not withstand the flames blazing from its center.

‘Kkaaaaaaah!’

‘Ahhhhhh—‘

‘Ahhh-youuuu!’

The center of the fragmented debris.

The black mucus that had been holding the torn space began to shrink.

Maru stabbed Eclipse towards the torn space.

Phew—-

‘Hey. Stop!’

‘please.’

‘stop.’

‘Ahhhhhhhh!’

A feeling of touching something, different from the first time.

It was a strange sensation. He was wearing a core armor, so it was impossible for him to feel anything through the thick mechanical hand, but Maru definitely felt it.

As I pierced the hard shell, I felt something slippery inside. That unpleasant feeling came up through Eclipse and the spear.

Maru pushed Eclipse deeper, feeling that it was more like a mess than a danger.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Eclipse, which was difficult to break through at first, was digging into something.

no···.

It wasn’t something I was digging into.

———Started to eat.

Ppoduk- kkuduk- euchik-

A strange sensation of climbing up the stairs.

‘Eclipse you bastard.’

Last time, you ate blood and repaired it yourself.

What are you eating this time?

However, that does not mean that the Eclipse that was inserted into the gap was removed.

Considering that the black slime was risking its life to maintain the gap it had created, it couldn’t have been a good thing.

If it were dangerous, the senses would have warned us, so what Eclipse is doing is not dangerous, even though it feels uneasy.

Maru pushed Eclipse further into the gap in the space. Eclipse was burrowing inward, fluttering like a fish in water.

Woooooooooo-

The vibrations of the eclipse felt through the window became stronger.

‘hmm?’

The black mucus shrank as much as it could from the undying napalm flames. The power flowing out of the torn gap gradually subsided as if it had been consumed by Eclipse’s eating.

How much time has passed?

Kujik-

It was like a crack in a window that had been torn. It was cracked all the way through.

‘What? It’s cracking?’

If it’s a torn gap, shouldn’t it be empty space?

But there’s a crack in that empty space? What the heck.

Not big-

The thin crack that had been drawn in the gap gradually began to thicken. Maru pulled out the Eclipse that he had pushed all the way into the handle. He didn’t know what would happen if it cracked and broke.

[Stop eating and come out.]

As Maru began to pull back, the spearhead began to shake violently. Maru’s brow furrowed as he held on to the spearhead, which swung and flapped like a fishing rod.

‘Is this crazy?’

The Eclipse on the end of the spear was vibrating as if it would not come out. The Eclipse was fluttering so much that it would have missed the spear if it had not been equipped with the core armor.

[Me and-]

[Stop it and come out!]

!!!!!!!!!!

Maru pulled Eclipse out at the maximum power of the core gas.

As it came out like a sausage stuffed into a hot dog, a strong vibration wave shot through the blade.

???

The appearance of the eclipse hanging from the end of the spear had changed.

A merciless bombardment burned the heart of the ant empire. Bombs poured in through the holes made by the nuclear bunker busters.

One by one, bombs equipped with self-homing capabilities and bio-EMP countermeasure systems began to rip through the vast space.

The ant empire’s amazing construction techniques only increased the damage.

4km underground. A space burned by super-hot napalm. At that depth, the flames should be weak due to lack of oxygen, but the ant empire’s ventilation system was amazing.

The black smoke had escaped somewhere, and fresh air was flowing in, keeping the napalm flames burning brightly. As if taking advantage of this, the bombing of the Holy Kingdom continued without mercy.

The endlessly burning fire began to engulf the capital of the ant empire.

[Is it over?]

[Halfway.]

Whether it was effective to double-spread the bunker filled with new technology, Ki-soon and the nurse. Erica were not affected by the mental waves emitted by the black mucus or the energy flowing out of the strange space.

The Holy Kingdom’s psychic-wave blocking technology was of a considerable standard. It was enough to completely block Dr. Noedungdung, the self-proclaimed former life form of Director Yu, and the remains of Joseph Meyer.

[How are you feeling? Did you feel anything strange?]

[What the hell? Did you have any mental issues? Ants have pheromones, so they probably don’t have mental abilities.]

[It’s not an ant problem. Ah- ants are a problem too, but I’ve had some headaches because of the black tentacles.]

[I’m okay with the mental side.]

When Ki-soon looked back, the nurse and Erica also said it was okay.

[But. What are those black tentacles? Are they everywhere?]

[That’s what I mean.]

Ki-soon’s eyes narrowed at Maru’s answer.

[This black tentacle is also a problem in many ways. Last time, the black tentacle that even absorbed Sister Sim and caused trouble is now eating ants.]

[No. It was different from the black tentacles back then. What they did this time was a bit different.]

Unlike the ones I saw in Japan, the black tentacles that absorbed Chairman Shim in the American West were capable of mimicry.

The ones I saw in Japan were monsters that had absorbed everything indiscriminately and had lost their shape, while the ones I encountered in the western United States had taken on the memories and appearance of the creatures they had absorbed.

What would have happened if I had missed the one that had a tentacle that could mimic the black tentacles I encountered in Japan?

Anyway, this tentacle was quite different. It was coexisting by eating the captives, extracting information, and providing the extracted information to the ants.

[I’ll have to check to be sure though.]

[You’re confirming? You didn’t kill him?]

[I held out against the heat of the nuclear grenade by dragging the prisoners and the ants that were nearby. I cooked it again with napalm, but it seemed like there were still pieces inside that weren’t fully cooked.]

[What happened? Our king burned all those things.]

[Looking at it this time, it doesn’t seem like something that can be done by burning it.]

[Then try to find a weakness? Isn’t that dangerous?]

In the past, I would have burned the whole place down, but I needed to find the weak points of the black tentacles. Even if it was just a coincidence once or twice, this was already the fourth time I had encountered something related to the black tentacles.

Moreover, coincidentally, three of those four incidents involved the altar or altar fragments. This time, the black tentacles were attached to a large chunk of debris.

[Still, it’s dangerous to just let this go. At the very least, we should create a bio-detector that can detect black tentacles. If the Joseph Meyer dregs and Virginia Langley bastards are impersonating each other, imagine if the black tentacles are doing the same thing.]

[···That’s true. Now that I think about it, the black tentacles and the altar thing are also traces of a connection between Virginia and humans, or some other force.]

As the two were discussing the altar, the black tentacles, and the crevice, the nurse suddenly raised her hand.

She was looking out through a crack in the wall of the audience room that was bursting here and there, and she raised her hand and shouted.

[Ahhhh! I surrender!]

[surrender?]

The pheromone translator in the nurse’s hand sparkled.

[Yes. I surrendered. The ants surrendered. I beg you to stop attacking.]

The ant empire surrendered.
